{
"lang": "en",
"value": "AV:L - The AEGIS-128 AEAD is driven from the local crypto API — an unprivileged user reaches it directly via an AF_ALG/algif_aead socket, and in-kernel consumers (dm-crypt, xfrm ESP) are configured locally. A remote peer cannot itself supply input that reaches the failing allocation, so this is local.\nAC:L - The failure requires a memory allocation failure inside skcipher_walk, but the attacker can both force the allocating slow path on every walk step (by submitting scatterlists fragmented below the 16-byte chunksize) and induce the memory pressure, then retry the operation arbitrarily many times; the GFP_ATOMIC variant used by softirq consumers fails readily under attacker-generated load.\nPR:L - Binding an AF_ALG socket to \"aegis128\" and issuing encrypt requests requires only an unprivileged local account — no capability, and module autoload happens on the user's behalf.\nUI:N - The attacker triggers the encrypt/decrypt path entirely on their own; no victim action is needed.\nS:U - The faulty error handling and its consequences stay within the kernel's own security authority; no VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary is crossed.\nC:H - On the unchecked error path the encrypt call returns success without encrypting, so the \"ciphertext\" handed to the caller is the raw plaintext (in-place operations) or stale kernel buffer contents (out-of-place, e.g. dm-crypt/ESP buffers), disclosing data that was supposed to be protected to disk, network peers, or backups.\nI:H - The kernel reports a successful AEAD operation while producing unencrypted, partially encrypted, or stale output with a mismatched tag, so data written to encrypted storage or an encrypted tunnel is silently wrong and cannot be distinguished from valid output by the caller.\nA:L - No kernel crash, hang, or corruption occurs; the impact is that the silently bad ciphertext/tag causes downstream rejection — dropped IPsec packets, I/O errors on integrity-protected volumes, and unrecoverable stored blocks — which is a limited interruption rather than a full loss of availability."
